Rites & Rituals

Having transformed common mortals into loyal cultists with his magic, the New Age sorcerer can feed on their devotion and their vitae alike from afar. If the ritual is successful, the sorcerer can recover vitae and even Willpower from one or more of his followers who are currently under the effects of Enfolding the Believers. The ritual requires thirty minutes of meditation on the names and faces of the targeted followers.

System

For each success rolled, the sorcerer may cause one of his followers who is a valid target for this ritual to lose two points of blood, with the sorcerer regaining one point of blood for every two points lost. Alternatively, for every three successes rolled, the sorcerer may cause a valid target to lose two points of Willpower, with the sorcerer recovering one Willpower for every two lost. There is a downside to this latter application, as it immediately causes anyone who loses Willpower in this manner to be freed of the effects of Enfolding the Believers and, worse, free of the effects of the blood bond itself. The ritual can target multiple cultists, but cannot target a single cultist more than once per use. Once a sorcerer has used this ritual, he may not use it again until he has successfully cast Enfolding the Believers on his cult again or until one week has passed, whichever is longer.
